IDK it seems like a genuine friendship more than a relationship. Johnny seem like a “straight” laced dude who just sticking up for a family he’s known for 24 years. So its not up to me to judge, but seems like a case of rumors crossing the world twice before the truth has put on his shoes. And also confirming the allegations of Tray E. just being a gold digger. Again IDK

We knew something wasn’t right with Tracey….she puts on a nice sweet ‘n innocent show but some of her actions made you go hmmmmm. IDK, kinda believe Johnny and when you think about it Eddie never really deals with the press spreading rumors or even confronting them….People always want to make themselves look like the victim so they twist the story a little bit in their favor - so theres a little truth to everyone’s side of the story.

Sound genuine to me…Tracy was a golddigger… To many issues going on with Spice and Nicole. If someone called my mother a rat its over. I dont blame mother for speakling up. That what she was suppose to do… Too fast with her and tracy’s relationship. I think maybe he still had feelings for Nicole ….

LMAO V103? Ghetto ass station. Everytime I think of Johnny Gill I hear this clip Hot 107 plays “That mutha__cka know he gay”
I mean what is he waiting on? Its not like him coming out of the closet is going to hurt his album sales.

HAS THIS OLD ASS NIGGA EVER BEEN SEEN WITH A WOMAN? I mean, got damn, he has been a celebrity since he was a teenager. For those who are old enough to remember his early solo career & the duets with Stacy Lattisaw. Has this man ever been linked to a woman? If I were Doug Banks I would have put him on the spot and ask who was the last woman he dated.

I’m w/ Bree #3, because this came up years ago, and Johnny addressed it on the Wendy Williams show (I think…I know it was WBLS) and he said the same thing. Anyway Miss Jones interviewed members of N.E. and their reaction basically confirmed the rumors…so like #3 & Jay-Z said “we don’t believe you you ned more people”
…And why is he telling all of Eddie’s business w/ Tracy (I’m glad he did cause I luvs the gossip) but was it really his place?

For all of you who feel he’s gay after that interview, you must be 12-years-old.
I wish somebody would say some shit about my Mama. Hell ya, it’s on.
The rumors about Johnny living with Eddie, where’s the proof? Eddie was living with Nicole and the kids here in NJ. Johnny says he lives in CA so what pix, video, something, anything that you have other than “gossip?”
How the hell does somebody “sound” gay? He talks just like any other black man, bass in the voice, a little ghetto slang here and there.
He also said he was not Eddie’s best man, his brother was so again, what proof do you knuckleheads have other than gossip and rumors?
All those who are so consumed with artist being gay are closeted gays yourselves. I mean who the hell cares if they are gay. How does it affect you? Do you like his music? Do you still jam to it? Have you been a New Edition/Johnny Gill fan since day one? If any or all of these questions have a “yes” answer, that is ALL THAT MATTERS!!!!!!!!!!!

Isn’t Johnny Gill married?Last time I heard he was, but who knows now.Anyways, that doesn’t take that fact that he MIGHT be gay, but how though?What makes him gay?
Now Eddie on the other hand, I can believe because they say men who like dressing up as women are homosexual anyways and picking up a tranny was icing on the cake.

I agree with YOYO!
@Vida:
V103 is just as “Ghetto” as Hot 107 or Hot 97.. They are all owned by the same company.Hot 107 is SO f-in wrong for playin a lyin song like that too.. (“That mutha__cka know he gay”)
and to answer ur question, “I mean what is he waiting on? Its not like him coming out of the closet is going to hurt his album sales.”
He’s not waiting on shit! He said he ain’t gay and I believe him! He said he would do a lie detector test and say the same thing! Plus he had his SON on the radio with him..
Get a f@ckin grip people!
@20 though… i did hear the same thing though.. but since Gill confirmed it on radio from his mouth, that’s what i have to believe. idk..

I believe Johnny because what would stop Tracy or those so-called friends of hers from not coming out and saying it had something to do with Eddie’s “lifestyle”! They half ass told the story because it was someone from her camp that told about Eddie’s mother cursing some folks out but they didn’t bother to tell why she did it! His mother and family was right to feel that he was moving to fast and it’s obvious he was going against their wishes but then Tracy crossed the line and talked reckless about the man’s MOTHER…hell yeah that shit was over before it started and I don’t blame him! I don’t care what nobody says…Tracy is a smart business woman and we know her as Babyface’s Ex but she didn’t get the attention that she’s been getting until she got with Eddie and she loved it!

Yeah…I don’t understand all this gay talk either…Eddie and Johnny have known each other forever…is it impossible to concieve that they really are best friends and nothing more…Black Men can be best friends.
Instead of some of you women wondering/thinking every black male celebrity is gay you need to be wondering about the man you’re sleeping with…the one that works in the corporate world…or even the one you like to call your “thug”…those are the men that are living on the Down Low…while you’re worried about if Johnny and Eddie are sleeping together.

I think people need to stop instigating shyt. We all know Eddie Loves PU$$Y!!!.Blck people need to support our black celebrities instead of spreading rumors. Just like they say Will Smith and Jada Pinkette, Tisha Campbell and Duane martin are all gay. We bringing our black celebrities downand it is hard enough out here for black people. Get a fuckin lyfe!!!

Why all the cursing?! Dang!
It’s not that we r trying to bring Black Celebrities down, it’s just that some people act a certain way. If it walks like a duck and it sounds like a duck then it must be a DUCK! Its like going to school and you have this guy around you that is always talking like a girl acting like a girl; just something is thrown off about him….if you have common sense then your common sense would tell you that maybe he’s gay and in denial or afraid to come out….who knows! But your Common Sense is telling u that something is off about him… Well something is off about Eddie & Johnny’s relationship. Period.
As for Tracey Edmonds, I think people forget that she has money! Alimony & child support from her ex…and not to mention her own business investments.
*Sometimes a person’s family member can be someone who is no good (even your own mother/father). They might not know that they r unintentionally destroying your . Keep in mind this is only one side of a story, one that we should not be involved in.
Let your love be stronger than your hate.

Sitting at different tables….not saying anything to each other…leaving two minutes after the other one. It is hilarious. We know they know each other so..why do they try to act like they don’t “know” each other?

@ Nigeria, stations can be owned by the same communication companies and have COMPLETELY different styles, and formats. So please hush.
And so what he has a son, I know ALOT of gay people with kids. You believe he isn’t gay? YAY for you! I’m not buying it, and since when did people offering to take a lie detector test automatically mean they must be telling the truth. Everyone has seen an episode of the Maury Povich show.
Why are you so defensive is this your uncle or something?

This shit has gotten out of hand there is no body articularley african american in the industry that doesn’t have a gay rumor out on them , the shit has to stop at some point.

Amazing.
Why are black American women so self-destructive, angry, bitter, alone, and shitting out the highest rates of bastard children all over the world? Easy if you ask me.
Because they’re the DUMBEST women in the world.
Every dude in your eyes that you have a problem with is gay. Meanwhile, most of the thugs giving you bastard children take it up the culo in jail, and then you turn around and wonder why they would never be with you. Even when you meet an “educated” one, she often has an inflated sense of self-importance, is a gold-digger, or both. What sane, real man has the time to deal with that when he has options?
When my black American female friends ask me why other women are doing better in relationships, I tell them the truth: Because you’re simply dumber than other women. If you’re losing, you either: (1)Suck at the game or (2) Are too dumb to keep up. Most don’t even take the time to reflect on my stark honest observation, which only further proves my point.
The irony of all this is that even if it was such crime to be gay, more black women are definitely guilty.

@Nichole, u took the words right out of my mouth. I mean even if it were to come out as true, how would it affect us? Do we know them personally? Are we working with them? Are we somehow bound to them, finanacially? SMH at this speculation.
“is it impossible to concieve that they really are best friends and nothing more…”
THANK YOU!! Its as if u cant be friends with ANYONE these days without being accused of having an extra-marital affair with someone, whether it’s opposite sex or same sex friendship. Thats like saying a random female who visits this blog has a best friend who is also a woman, so she HAS to be having a lesbian affair with that friend or something
Please its stupid and just proves how perverted minds can be.

FIRST AND FOREMOST WE NEED ANOTHER CD. THIS MAN HAS BEEN BAD SINCE HIS CHEMISTRY DAYS(IF YOU KNOW MUSIC YOU”LL KNOW WHAT I’M TALKING ABOUT) HE HAD A POINT THE ONLY PEOPLE SPREADING RUMORS ABOUT HE AND EDDIE ARE BLACK MEDIA AS A MATTER OF FACT MOST OF THE RUMORS ABOUT BLACK CELEBS ARE FOUND ONLY IN BLACK PUBLICATIONS. I NEVER HAVE FELT THAT EITHER OF THEM ARE GAY AND STILL DON’T. IT’S A SHAME THAT IF BLACK MAN ACHIEVES A CERAIN STATUS OR HAS MALE FRIENDS THE FIRSST THING PEOPLE ASK IS IF THEY’RE GAY.

I guess what Gabrielle Union said about this ‘hating on’ culture on gossip blogs is coming true
Not just this, but also the amount of hate Beyonce or someone gets on here is ridiculous. Whether its about her, or if you’re speculating about the private life of others, its always the same comments. If u dont like what you’re seeing, then dont comment.
I bet Madonna and J.Lo dont get this kind of hate on blogs run by their communities.

You know what was weird about this interview, and raised a red flag for me, Johnny repeatedly referred to him and Eddie as a “we” and “our camp”. And he said “i know him better than anybody.” I’m sorry, i’m not saying this is proof of a gay relationship, but i thought that was weird cause i never heard a guy refer to another guy, no matter how good friends they are, no matter how long they’ve known each other, in that way…..it sounded much like a woman being protective of her man, and clearing up shit….just sounded weird. And it also seemed that Johnny was trying to pick his words carefully with all the studdering, but his emotions were getting the better of him; he seems to really be hurt by the rumors. Rumors can be hurtful, but i don’t think this interview is going to clear up anything if people were really listening to it. They could really be just best friends who tell each other everything and he could have strong feelings for him in that manner…..Ughhhh, i don’t know.
BUT AT THE END OF THE DAY, I DON’T REALLY GIVE A FUCK, I JUST WANT ANOTHER CD, PLEASE JOHNNIE, JUST ONE MORE DAMMIT…I KNOW YOU GOTTA BE LISTENING TO THE SAME SHIT ON THE RADIO THAT WE ARE LISTENING TO, AND SO YOU KNOW THERE’S A NEED FOR SOME GOOD MUSIC; NOBODY GOT THE PIPES YOU GOT, ASIDE FROM K-CI OF JODECI, BUT HE’S DEALING WITH SOME ISSUES RIGHT NOW….BUT WHAT’S UP WITH YOU? I COULD CARELESS WHAT YOUR SEXUAL ORIENTATION IS, I WANT THAT CD!

That has nothing to do w/sexual orientation, cause one thing/person can make some1 turn one way or the other. Just depends on what they are feeling. I thought the interview was funny, cause that was soooo planned for him to say something to his son in the background, lol

I remember awhile ago where Johnny was being interviewed and he became very upset because his sexuality was being questioned. Johnny stated that his sexuality has nothing to do with his music. I found the interview to be a little evasive to say the least. I also find it strange that a straight black heterosexual male pierces his nipples.

@ WOW, I somewhat disagree because one you putting us, black women, who not even like that in all one category.I know for one I’m not like what you typed because I know better.You won’t find it just in black women, you find it in all women.And to tell you the truth, the reason why in your theory you think that black women are dumb in relationships is because we not about to sit and “pay” for love.Most women “pay” for love because they insecure.Giving dudes, 360s,computers,laptops,credit cards,letting them borrow their cars while their ass is not insured,speakers,ipods,disrespect them in public,call them names,cheat on them and they still get treated like puppy dogs.That is true story, happen to a friend of mine.Told her don’t do it, but guess what now?They not even together, we don’t talk because “I told her so,” and now her ex is doing it to some other broad and guess what now happens, they having issues because he is playing her like he did with my friend.Oh and they happen to be white.But I date (lol how old is that?) the educated men, but that don’t make them any better either.Just letting you know because you make another general broad statement.Maybe it’s just in your area.So your analysis is false.

But Johnny sounded “GAYER” than a $3 dollar bill in that interview. I wish there was a video too… cause I pictured him with his hands going all over the place while talking… I thought I detected a lisp too. He definitely is a great singer.. but he’s gay! Whether with Eddie or not… He’s FLAMING!!

You know, who really needs to listen to the audio at this point??? The writing has been on the wall for years….those who cannot read it or see it, or simply blind and obiviously in denial. Eddie and Johnny are lover’s…period point blank. They are on the downlow, translation: gay and in deeply in the closet. Come on, let’s do some math here……Here you have Johnny Gill, once a star in his own right, ‘living’ in Eddie Murphy’s ‘guest house’ on his estate…wtf??!! If Johnny was going thru a rough patch financially then so be it….but damn, his a** has been in that guest house for a minute now, I don’t think he will ever leave. And why should he…Eddie is his man. Tracey can leave…but Johnny? He ain’t goin’ nowhere, he will stay his overgrown black a** in that guest house. I mean, Johnny Gill is a grown man, a father at that, what type of grown man is CONTENT living in another’s mans guest house???? There’s gotta be something to be said about that…right people? You know, so many people unfornately have grown up in homes without father’s or have not had strong male figures around, and they may have no idea on what is wrong with this picture. Then again maybe they do…because life is a teacher if you pay attention. But those of you that are aware of how real men move, this ain’t it….two grown a** men, both are father’s, and both have money….and they are living that close together for no reason. Hmmm?? Something in the milk ain’t clean. I mean Johnny might not be ballin’ out of control money wise, but damn, he ain’t broke…..he could get his own place. But anyway, it’s being in ‘Eddie’s World’ that even keeps Johnny Gill relavent in the first place, Johnny is one step from being ‘washed-up’, and it’s not for lack of having a dynamic voice….it’s because this muthaf**ka ain’t ‘hungry’….he’s TOO CONTENT being Eddie’s bottom b**ch. You want to know who’s the bottom,good people? Johnny is obviously the bottom…he is the b**ch in the relationship, just look at his flamboyant clothes. Johnny Gill is obiviously intouch with his feminine and sensual side…much like that of a woman, just check out the reds and pinks you will often see him in. The dangling jewlry pieces, diamond encrusted sun glasses, gaudy accessories ( belt buckles, shoes and hats) and you should know: Gay!! All day long…straight up and down…Johhny can’t even control the sh*t no more and some of yall’ still can’t see it! I don’t get that. So moving forward, Johnny has said Eddie is like a ‘big brother’ and his ‘best friend’….Eddie is obivously the one in control here, he is the mentor..the one holding the purse strings…he has the money and the influence. But don’t sleep, Johnny must be rocking Eddie’s world, because Eddie got Johnny exactly where he wants him and where he can keep tabs on Johnny. Eddie needs to be a top priority in Johnny’s life, that’s why Johnny’s career has stalled…because of d**k control, there can be only one star here and someone needs to be acessible at all times! And let’s not forget when Eddie was busted picking up a transvestite..and he denied that he knew that’ s what he/she was. That transvestite was somoian, the are genetically big people…as far as height, and stature. Eddie no good and g*tdamn well that wasn’t no woman! Everyone in Los Angeles knows that if you on the ’strip’ at that time of night, ain’t nothin’ but prositution goin’ on, street walker’s and transvestites…Eddie was on the prowl. And I should also add that that transvestite was talking to the tabloids about Eddies foot fetish and about how he propositioned her/he….well, the transvestite (bless her heart) ended up dead not to long after it was splashed around in the tabloids. She supposedly fell out of a window, or from a roof….or something like that, but don’t mark my words on that one, not sure. What I do know is, that her/his death was considered ‘accidental’ ….and in my opinion, I think there was foul play….someone wanted her/him to stop talking to the press. So it looks like Eddie has wised up and realized that prowling for streetwalker’s is too risky for someone like him, a high profile actor…so as a result, he now has Johnny right there on the ‘grounds’ , that way he will never have to risk his career again because he needs his ‘fix’ at 1am in the morning…he can just walk across the patio on over to Johnny’s guest house. (lamo) This is an education here folks! And don’t let Eddie’s marriage cloud your vision…his career and wanting to have a family, have nothing to do with the fact that he sexually speaking, prefers d**k on occasion. Bottom line. Johnny is content with this arrangement, because like any woman who loves her man, her place is with him. Tracey is a smart, and cunning woman….don’t feel sorry for her. She knew what time it was with BabyFace and she knew what time it was with Eddie. Deep down she knew…ain’t she a woman? Woman have that sixth sense, they feel things deeply…they bring life into this world and they can ‘pretend’ very well. Tracey sold her soul for the fame, lifestyle and to finance her own professional ambitions. She knew exactly what she was getting involved with, I think at the end of the day, there can be only one puppet master pulling the strings, and between Eddie’s ego and control AND Johnny’s mean d**k game, she didn’t stand a chance. Let’s face it, Eddie is no BabyFace….and Tracey likes to be in charge..she wants it to be about her. Tracey was probably willing to fall back a little, because Eddie would have done wonder’s for her professional ambitions, but at the end of the day, I think she probably bit off more than she could chew or mentally digest for that matter. She under estimated the power of d**k. So there you have it ladies and gentlemen, if you cannot put two and two together after this….there is no hope for you, you are eternally blind to downlow at it’s finest! Church!!

I see the habitual bastard spawners all came out of the woodworks. Say what you want, but you can never dispute the fact that about 75% of black American mothers are out there shitting out illegitimate babies thinking it’s cute. They’re creating a cancerous cycle, and it is not good. Either they’re too emotionally immature to maintain healthy, stable relationships or they’re just dumb and self-destructive.
Yes, a majority of black American men are equally worthless. But the very worst
of them are the most loved by black American women. Idiotic, low self-esteem women raise them and numb, mentally bankrupt women encourage their behavior. No person can ever look me in the face and say that on the average, black American women approach relationships (and life in general) as intellectually and emotionally mature as other women. That’s why they’re losing. Numbers don’t lie.
lol @ some idiot calling me a hillbilly. Self-criticism is the first step toward maturity. Listen to DIVA for example. If she was sleeping with a DL dude, do you think he would be honest with her — with that dense, ingorant attitude? Don’t kill the messenger.
@ NICHOLE261, I knew you made too much sense in #40 to sound borderline retarded in #68.
@ #70 SHARONDA I didn’t mean to generalize. I’m speaking in terms of trends. And I have to make a clear distinction here. Blacks of non-American origin are way
ahead of blacks here in terms of dignity and self respect.

YOU ARE A DUMB ASS BASTARD SPITTING OUT OPINIONS BASED OFF YOUR PREJUDICE BIASES…..IF YOU INDEED CHECK YOUR FACTS, YOU’LL SEE THAT THE NEW MINORITY AND ONES SPITTING OUT COUNTLESS CHILDREN ARE HISPANICS! THEY ARE HAVING CHILDREN AT A MUCH LARGER RATE THAN BLACK AMERICANS….SO TAKE YOUR IGNORANCE AND SHOVE IT UP YOUR FLAT ASS BITCH!
AND FOR THE RECORD WHORE, WHITE BITCHES KILL THEIR BABIES, AT LEAST BLACK WOMEN ALLOW THEIR CHILDREN TO LIVE, WHITE WOMEN AT A MUCH LARGER RATE, HAVE ABORTIONS AND TRY TO KILL THE EVIDENCE OF THEIR INFIDELITIES….SO WHAT IF BLACK WOMEN HAVE A TRAIL OF 5 BABIES FOLLOWING THEM; WHITE WOMEN MAY NOT HAVE A TRAIL OF 5 LIVING BABIES, BUT BEST BELIEVE 5 CASKETS ARE FOLLOWING THEM AROUND IN THEIR HEADS…..SO WHAT DOES YOUR THEORY PROVE???? NOT A GAT-DAMN THING BUT YOUR OWN IGNORANCE AND PREJUDICE…..YOU CANNOT GAGE THE INTELLIGENCE OF WOMEN ON HOW MANY “BASTARD” CHILDREN THEY HAVE; THAT’S JUST STUPID ON YOUR PART. YOU ARE CLEARLY A RACIST BASTARD COMING ON A MAJORITY BLACK BLOG SPITTING OUT SHIT….HILLBILLY IS TOO GOOD A NAME FOR YOU, AT LEAST HILLBILLIES HAVE HILLBILLY SENSE, YOU HAVE NO SENSE…
NOW I’M GOING TO REPEAT THIS…..PLEASE GET YOUR FLAT ASS UP, GO INTO THE KITCHEN, PULL OUT THE SHARPEST KNIFE IN THERE, AND REPEATEDLY STAB YOUR MONKEY ASS IN THE NECK UNTIL YOU LOSE CONSCIOUSNESS, NO ONE WILL MISS YOUR DUMB IGNORANCE AFTER YOU HAVE PASSED INCLUDING YOUR MAMA…DAMN SHAME SHE WASN’T ONE OF THEM WOMEN WHO ABORTED YOUR ASS.

I’ve been a New Edition, Johnny Gill/Stacy Lattisaw fan from my childhood days so I’m going to fall back on this one. I also personally know Tracey and will just keep my mouth closed on that situation or i could be in BIG trouble, LOL! Say what you will about Eddie but he has never chased the spotlight. He avoids the media and tries to keep his private life separate. I can respect him for that.
Also #55 GreatestLoveOfAll–you need to check out some of the other blogs that post regularly about Madonna and JLo–hate is all around! People tear them apart as well. It’s not just this site!

People are going to think he’s gay regardless,so why keeping worrying about it!
Only he and God knows the truth. Just because he has a “stable”of women-his words NOT mine) doesn’t mean anything. Just because he has a child(ren) doesn’t mean he’s not gay! He is 40 years old-he should be worrying baout other things…….

I think it is really sad that a man’s word is not enough in this world. It seems to be a trend in the Black community to put others down. I don’t believe in the homosexual lifestyle, however you will never hear or see me putting someone down for his/her choice. God gives us free will. It breaks my heart to see how harsh many of these blogs are towards African Americans from African Americans. We then wonder why these precious children are growing up with such hatred in their hearts. People when are we going to wake up. The bottom line is the Man said they are friends then they are. There’s no crime in that. It’s not like we haven’t seen guys thick as thieves before. Second if the WORLD was saying things to hurt you, your kids, family and friends at some point you may go to the breaking point of lie detector too! I feel so sad for African American males who can’t deal with their feelings of wanting to be with a man or sneaking while they’re lying up with females. You people make life harder than it should be. Didn’t anybody ever teach you IF YOU DON’T HAVE ANYTHING NICE TO SAY……DON’T SAY ANYTHING!!! There’s power in the tongue……It’s in WORD!!!! Bottom line….Johnny Gill is an Awesome artist and Eddie Murphy is an Icon.

I never and still don’t believe Eddie or Johnny are gay or bisexual…. and if they are so what! What diff does it make about thier sexuality and if they come out of the closet or not! It’s their closet and it seems like everyone wants to jump in and get a peek!!
If you leave it up to the mags everyone in the industry is gay or bisexual. Good for Eddie for not giving a rat’s ass!
#51 your “stark honest observation” is amongest the most ignorant of all the comments I have read thus far on ConcreteLoop. It’s your opinion and you are entitled and it just proves there is still a great deal of stupidity, ignorance and racism amongst us. I doubt you have responded to your “African American” friends in that manner and are still able to call them “friends”

First and foremost let me start by saying to all those that keep yelling if they are gay Who Cares?? Ok what about the women that are sleeping with these men , I’m sure they care,I mean did you forget what DL actually is??? If they want to be gay hey more power to them BUT when you’re jeopardizing others health and life by lying to cover your ass then yes your ass should be EXPOSED for what you really are! Thats is the big deal here for all the dummies who dont seem to understand! And for all the PRO BLACK comments about how we as a people quick to tear down black men MAN GROW UP and take a look around! It used to be that a woman had to deal with other homewrecking ass WOMEN now its the MEN we have ti take a second look at why because this DL shit is some shit they created NOT US WOMAN yeah we really want our men to fuck MEN!! This aint no shit we made up its these confused nasty ass men like these two!! In 90% of the movies he play he has on more make up then the damn females! Boomerang, Harlem Nights, come on now come on and nobody thought them tight ass leather suits didnt seem suspect to no one yeah it was the 80’s but still and them songs he made the video for put your mouth on me get the fuck outta here they both GAY as hell plain and simple! Johnny is from my hometown (MD) when this came it was nothing new to us so yall can swim in “DENIAL” if ya want

Agreed. I mean this idiot has to be the biggest fucking retard on this site. A borderline retard? No, bitch. That’s what your mother was diagnosed with when she mistakingly had you. What a fucking stereotype. Just like #82 said, this moron needs to check his, or her facts. I don’t even understand why CL didn’t delete such harsh comments. Talk about being biased against African American women.
Get a life.

It’s funny how all of you keep saying you can’t be gay and have kids; I mean they may be bisexual. Gay men have kids all day long! And as for Johnny, I remember a couple years back he was interviewed by Sister2Sister I wanna say and they brought up his sexuality (this was during the time he was linked to Janet Jackson) and he said his sexuality was no one’s business which is true. And honestly you don’t keep hearing the same rumors over decades and it has no truth to it. There is some truth to it: just like with Michael Jackson (there is some truth to it). Also, the gay performers in Hollywood know who each other are; but of course they are going to support each other and hide the truth and a lot of the females they are with know the truth but enough money can shut up a whole lot of people.

“When my black American female friends ask me why other women are doing better in relationships, I tell them the truth: Because you’re simply dumber than other women. If you’re losing, you either: (1)Suck at the game or (2) Are too dumb to keep up. Most don’t even take the time to reflect on my stark honest observation, which only further proves my point.”
This is your truth. It isn’t fact. One thing I will agree with, those women are indeed stupid because they actually asked you for advice. Either that or they needed a good laugh because you crack me up!

Everyone should be offended by this comment. We are talking about somebody’s child here. Insults should be kept between adults. There is no need to stoop that low.

Enough with all the craziness and I seriously doubt that it’s true. Ya’ll can say whatever ya’ll want to say or whatever ya’ll want to think. Eddie Murphy is the most funniest sucessfull comedians in the world he truly is a legend. Also, legendary Jonny Gill is one of the most talented gifted singers we ever had. Don’t nobody got nothing on his voice. Enough of all that they don’t have to proove anything to anybody their true fans love them no matter what despite the rumors.

#100 Finally You hit it on the head.
That is one self-hating black woman and unquestioningly not of African American descent.
I feel sorry for you, WOW, because in your defense you really believe that non-blacks make the distinction in their minds when they interact with you and you agree with their blanket statements regarding “some” black women.
You will look better and be treated better when you act empowered and stand for “all” black women and not just for yourself. Character shows through black skin.
You really believe that when you and the two white women you consider friends part company for the day or the evening that you have been included in all of their reindeer games? Ask them how many times have they been to each other’s homes and compare it to the number of invites you have received to date. You are going to find that though they have both been ” all up and through” you have been left watching through the gates of their community.
You have a wealth of intellect, but your character is bankrupt. Church
